Resumo: Brazil has experienced an obesity epidemic for many years, a situation which increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Research has found an increase in body image disorders among young people. About one third of this group feels dissatisfied with their body appearance. Thus, we analyzed the relation between college students’ body weight and dissatisfaction with their body image. This is cross-sectional study was conducted with 3,168 students from a public university in Paraná. To evaluate body satisfaction, we used the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ), which was adapted and validated for Brazil. To assess body weight, the Body Mass Index (BMI) was used. A Poisson regression with robust variance and calculation of its prevalence ratio (PR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was used in our association analysis. Students with overweight (PR 1.56; 95%CI 1.46-1.67) and obesity (PR 1.68; 95%CI 1.55-1.81) showed greater dissatisfaction with their body image, regardless of our adjustment variables. Conversely, we found underweight students (PR 0.42; 95%CI 0.34 - 0.53) had lower body image dissatisfaction. Regardless of sociodemographic and mental health variables, overweight college students constitute a group with a high prevalence of body dissatisfaction.

Entre los jóvenes, se ha notado un aumento de los trastornos de la imagen corporal, con cerca de un tercio de este grupo insatisfecho con su apariencia corporal, en este sentido analizamos la relación entre el peso corporal y la insatisfacción con la imagen corporal entre los estudiantes universitarios. Se trata de un estudio transversal realizado con 3.168 estudiantes de una universidad pública de Paraná. Para evaluar la satisfacción corporal se utilizó el Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) adaptado y validado para Brasil. Para el peso corporal se utilizó el Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC). En el análisis de asociación se utilizó la regresión de Poisson con varianza robusta con cálculo de la razón de prevalencia (RP) y el intervalo de confianza del 95% (IC 95%). Los resultados obtenidos muestran que los estudiantes con sobrepeso (PR 1,56; IC 95% 1,46-1,67) y los estudiantes obesos (PR 1,68; IC 95% 1,55-1,81) mostraron una mayor insatisfacción con la imagen corporal, independientemente de las variables de ajuste. Por el contrario, los estudiantes con bajo peso (PR 0,42; IC95% 0,34 - 0,53) mostraron una menor insatisfacción con la imagen corporal. Independientemente de las variables sociodemográficas y de salud mental, los estudiantes universitarios con sobrepeso constituyen un grupo con mayor prevalencia de insatisfacción corporal.O Brasil vive uma epidemia de obesidade há muitos anos, situação que leva ao aumento do risco de doenças cardiovasculares. Entre os jovens, observa-se elevação de distúrbios da imagem corporal, sendo que um terço está insatisfeito com a própria aparência. Dessa forma, foi analisada a relação entre o peso corporal e a insatisfação com a imagem corporal entre estudantes universitários. Este é um estudo transversal realizado com 3.168 estudantes de uma universidade pública paranaense. Para avaliação da satisfação corporal, foi utilizado o Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) adaptado e validado para o Brasil. Para o peso corporal, foi utilizado o Índice de Massa Corpórea (IMC). Na análise de associação, foi utilizada Regressão de Poisson com variância robusta com cálculo da razão de prevalência (RP) e intervalo de confiança 95% (IC95%). Os resultados alcançados mostram que estudantes com sobrepeso (RP: 1,56; IC95% 1,46-1,67) e obesidade (RP: 1,68; IC95% 1,55-1,81) apresentaram maior insatisfação com a imagem corporal, independentemente das variáveis de ajuste. Já entre estudantes com baixo peso (RP: 0,42; IC95% 0,34-0,53), a insatisfação com a imagem corporal é menor. Independentemente de variáveis sociodemográficas e de saúde mental, estudantes universitários com excesso de peso constituem um grupo com maior prevalência para a insatisfação corporal.SESAB2023-01-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rbsp.sesab.ba.gov.br/index.php/rbsp/article/view/361110.22278/2318-2660.2022.v46.n2.a3611Revista Baiana de Saúde Pública; v. 46 n. 2 (2022); 39-502318-26600100-023310.22278/2318-2660.2022.v46.N2reponame:Revista Baiana de Saúde Pública (Online)instname:Secretaria da Saúde do Estado da Bahia (Sesab)instacron:IBICTporhttps://rbsp.sesab.ba.gov.br/index.php/rbsp/article/view/3611/3099Copyright (c) 2023 Revista Baiana de Saúde Públicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira, Josué Souza AlmeidaGirotto, EdmarlonGuidoni, Camilo Molino2023-03-03T16:43:36Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/3611Revistahttps://rbsp.sesab.ba.gov.br/index.php/rbspPUBhttps://rbsp.sesab.ba.gov.br/index.php/rbsp/oai||saude.revista@saude.ba.gov.br|| rbsp.saude@saude.ba.gov.br2318-26600100-0233opendoar:2024-03-06T12:58:24.342067Revista Baiana de Saúde Pública (Online) - Secretaria da Saúde do Estado da Bahia (Sesab)false
